AuthorTopic: rFactor Hosting and Norton Security (Read 1836 times)

I am having a problem hosting rFactor. I figured it is Norton that is giving me the problem. People have been telling me they keep getting a timeout when they try to enter the game. I have no password.

What I now have done is made some configuration changes in Norton and I was wondering if anyone would like to spend a few minutes sometime to see if they can enter the host.

I really need this to work because I want to host a series and rFactor has more of the tracks I need for the events.

If you dont know what i mean... well... when hosting you need to open ports for ppl to connect to, Norton could be one of the reasons, but if you've got Rfactor set to "allow" in Norton, chances are that program lets it through.... but it can also still block a whole load even IF allowed access.

Anyway, rFactor, GTL, GTR2 hosting works the same way, the only thing needed is port forwarding on your router. Of course firewalls might interfere as well, so try to disable the firewall or even uninstall the firewall and see if that helps.

Well I guess I'll have to buy server time again. I know I can get GTR2 working but the tracks are all on rFactor.

Every year I have around 4 series from the end of October to March. This year one of series of events is the Canadian Track Tour. Vancouver, Toronto, Mosport, Montreal, Mont Tremblant, and hopefully Sanair and a couple others I am still looking for. I am working on a car selection.

Thanks for your time.. I'll putter around with this for a little while longer.
